TITLE Flower Identification Using Convolutional Neural Networks: An Intelligent Deep Learning Approach for Automated Flower Species Classification
ABSTRACT Flower identification is an important task in agriculture, botany, horticulture, and environmental research. Manual identification of flower species requires botanical knowledge and is often time-consuming. This paper presents an intelligent flower identification system using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to automatically classify flower images. The proposed system recognizes seven flower species, namely Rose, Lotus, Sunflower, Tulip, Daisy, Lily, and Dandelion. Image preprocessing techniques such as resizing and normalization are applied before training the CNN model to improve prediction performance. The trained model is integrated with a Flask-based web application that enables users to upload flower images and obtain prediction results with confidence scores. The system also provides botanical information, prediction history, and PDF report generation for future reference. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system achieves reliable classification accuracy and provides a simple, efficient, and user-friendly solution for automated flower species identification.
